Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact for the day
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the roaster
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Spit-roast lamb
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU10 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
